Wrong...

the answer is New Way To Be Human, though I will accept Legend of Chin as well.

New Way to Be Human was the only Switchfoot album I liked....here is one that is highly debated, Skillet....I will say Collide was their best album, but Alien Youth is still my favorite.

New Way to be Human is definitely Switchfoot's best album, but Learning to Breathe and Legend of Chin are also quite good.

I find The Beautiful Letdown,to be Switchfoots best.Iam a little biased though,it was the first cd I ever bought myself and I learned the bass by playing those songs.Still is their best in my opinion.

I would say that, in general, their earlier stuff is better than the later stuff. But I still say Beautiful Letdown is the best. Unfortunately I haven't heard as much from the first three. I should probably pick up that 3 in 1 deal they have at some point...

New band...Becoming the Archetype...I say Dichotomy.

Since there are no takers on Becoming the Archetype (surprising since they had CGR's top Christian Album of 2008) lets go with Skillet. KaiserZR voted Collide. I'm not a huge Skillet fan, but I think I'll go with Collide as well. "Savior" is one of my favourite songs by them.

I can't narrow it down to just one Skillet album. I like most of their albums for different reasons. I think the Ardent Praise album may be one of their best though. They did the praise and worship album long before others even thought about plus it had a sweet version of Shout to the Lord on it. Of their new albums though (think Invincible through Comatose) I would probably go with Collide. The guitar parts in it were, in my opinion, better than Comatose; however, Comatose had a coming of age feel to it that Collide lacked since it was their first album in a new direction. I think Skillet has finally settled into their niche. It seemed like on every album they were constantly reinventing themselves and not knowing exactly what style they wanted to play. I remember the leather pants from Invincible.

I haven't been on in a while or I would have responded to the Becoming the Archetype, which I would clearly agree that Dichotomy is their best album to date.

As Skillet goes, I love Collide, and I love their live album. The songs from Comatose sound way better in live setting.

I only have comatose and collide, I'm going to have to say collide. Next band, Disciple.

I say Scars Remain. I love Southern Hospitality as far as guitar goes, but I felt it just lacked the same energy as Scars Remain.

If all of Comatose was live then it would win.As it is 'Comatose comes alive' is my favorite.

I prefer their self-titled debut.

For Disciple I would have to go with Southern Hospitality barely over Scars Remain

**bravesfan007** · 03-08-2009, 09:01 PM

Yet again I don't think it's fair to compare old Disciple with new Disciple. Back Again and This Might Sting a Little were great, but all the old Disciple stuff doesn't get mentioned because of their newer stuff. Overall for mass appeal I have to say the self titled one was the best for being played in large groups.
